How do Shire websites use cookies?

The cookies we use perform three different functions:

1. Strictly necessary cookies

3. Functionality cookies

These cookies allow our website to provide a more personal experience and remember any choices you may make. For example, if you visit our website using a mobile device but choose to access our main (non-mobile) site, a cookie may be set to prevent you from being re-directed to our mobile site.
